Can I use both "because" and "since" in one sentence??

When we explain reasons, (there are two reasons) can I use both "because" and "since" in one sentence?

For instance, He got fired because he always late since he is lazy...

Like this sentence, can I write like this way? Result because Reason1 (result of reason2) since Reason2..

Please help me~~

Hi Anon Your sentence is awkward as it is written. I might suggest one of the following two rewordings: He got fired because he was lazy and was always late. He got fired because he was just too lazy to ever get to work on time.

I would not recommend it. Amy's solutions (above) are a better way to do that.
